Papaya Salad

When I am feeling a bit under the weather, I eat vegetables, a lot of vegetables.For lunch today, a light papaya salad. I loooove papaya salad. A mix of crunch, sweet, spicy, salty.

I prepare my veggies with a mandolin slicer. I cut my knuckles once with one, and have been careful ever since... Always be attentive even if you feel confident, it is still extremely sharp. It is worth the $30 though, you can slice everything quickly and in very even slices.

This blog started out as a diary of what we ate at home on a daily basis. I cook everything from scratch, so it was nice to have a journal, a collection of all our recipes. In November 2010 opened Edgar, our tiny café.
